Assemble Flying Geese Units

1. Referring to Diagram 1, sew a green-and-orange batik B triangle to one short edge of a dark orange batik A triangle. Press seam toward B triangle. Add a second green-and-orange batik B triangle to remaining short edge of A triangle to make a small Flying Geese unit. Press as before. The unit should be 6-1⁄2x3-1⁄2" including seam allowances. Repeat to make four small Flying Geese units total.

2. Using pale green batik B triangles and green batik A triangles, repeat Step 1 to make 12 medium Flying Geese units total (Diagram 2). Each unit should be 8-1⁄2x4-1⁄2" including seam allowances.

3. Using dark orange batik B triangles and pale green batik A triangles, repeat Step 1 to make four large Flying Geese units total (Diagram 3). Each unit should be 12-1⁄2×6-1⁄2" including seam allowances.

3. Sew together two A segments and one B segment to make a corner unit (Diagram 6). Press seams toward A segments. The unit should be 6-1⁄2" square including seam allowances. Repeat to make four corner units total.

5. Referring to Diagram 8, sew together four corner units, four large Flying Geese units, and block center in three rows. Press seams toward Flying Geese units. Join rows to make a star block; press seams away from middle row. The block should be 24-1⁄2" square including seam allowances.

2. Referring to Diagram 10, join two C segments to make a red Four-Patch unit. Press seam in one direction. The unit should be 4-1⁄2" square including seam allowances. Repeat to make 12 red Four-Patch units total. (Set aside four Four-Patch units for border.)

4. Sew together two D segments to make an orange Four-Patch unit (Diagram 12). Press seam in one direction. The unit should be 4-1⁄2" square including seam allowances. Repeat to make 16 orange Four-Patch units total.

5. Referring to Diagram 13, sew together two red Four-Patch units and two green-and-orange batik 4-1⁄2" squares in pairs. Press seams toward squares. Join pairs to make a red Double Four-Patch block. Press seam in one direction. The block should be 8-1⁄2" square including seam allowances. Repeat to make four red Double Four-Patch blocks total.

6. Referring to Diagram 14, sew together two orange Four-Patch units and two pale green batik 4-1⁄2" squares in pairs. Press seams toward squares. Join pairs to make an orange Double Four-Patch block. Press seam in one direction. The block should be 8-1⁄2" square including seam allowances. Repeat to make eight orange Double Four-Patch blocks total.

Assemble Quilt Center

1. Referring to Quilt Assembly Diagram, lay out two orange Double Nine-Patch blocks and two medium Flying Geese units in a row. First join Flying Geese units to make a Flying Geese pair. Press seam in one direction. Then join Double Nine-Patch blocks to the Flying Geese pair to make a side unit. Press seams toward Flying Geese pair. The side unit should be 8-1⁄2x24-1⁄2" including seam allowances. Repeat to make four side units total.

2. Lay out red Double Four-Patch blocks, side units, and star block in three horizontal rows (Quilt Assembly Diagram; note rotation of Double Four-Patch blocks and side units). Sew together pieces in each row. Press seams toward side units. Join rows to make quilt center. Press seams toward middle row. The quilt center should be 40-1⁄2" square including seam allowances.
